Vineta

Sarah Frede

For my BA collection, I took inspiration from the legend
of VINETA, a mythical city that is drowned in the Baltic
Sea. Because of their blasphemous way of life, the Vinetans
were punished by a flood which took the city to the
bottom of the seabed. I speculate about the Outfits they are
wearing, inspired by marine life and traditional fishermen
workwear. Many of the deep sea creatures have a gelatinous,
translucent texture and rough surfaces alternate with
soft. There is a ghostly aesthetic to this world, both repulsive
and beautiful; like the jellyfish that are living in it.
